WAR CHEATS! HELP
Hi guys! This situation are really critical now! A lot of clubs are unhappy because of cheats in war. For example our club had previous war. And our enemy was cheats. 1. They made more energy i...

Well, we have played a good number of wars now, but today we are being beaten by a team we think must have hacked the system. All of their players are hitting with magnetisnm almost exclusively and together this team has used literally HUNDREDS OF HYDRANTS. I believe they have used a hack to get free simcash enabling them to skip the thousands of other unneeded war items and get the massive number of hydrants used to defeat us. I just don’t believe it is possible otherwise to get all the hundreds of hydrants used.... already about 350 hydrants and the war is not nearly over. Their team name is not in English bit it looks like this kny6 4eTBePr but in Cyrillic characters I think. I personally never skip a hydrant and I keep more than 200 war items in my storage, but getting more than a few hydrants is just a dream. I’ve spent more than 200 real dollars to get war cards and now I’m feeling ripped off.
Hey Jackie, we played them 2 weeks ago and reported them. Cheaters!
We are now in our 3rd war in a row where the opposition are just blasting us with magnet attacks. It's pathetic. As a club we are seriously thinking about giving up the wars. Its just not worth the time and the effort when all the opponents cheat with the magnetism attack. They obviously have some hack to get unlimited war items, particularly hydrants. (but it cannot be just hydrants because the magnet needs other items too). Thing that gets me every time is these cheating clubs make no effort to cover it up. They just bang away with magnets all day long. It's quite funny really. We are thinking about tactics to use against these clubs. We are a strong club and can score 200,000 points quite easily but it's not enough when faced with cheats. But, 200,000 does give us a chance, the problem is getting a lead on the cheats, a big enough lead and then stop repairing maybe? I dunno. At the end of the day, a war against a cheater club just turns into an exercise to improve your own card strength. Score as many points as possible, accept you're going to lose the war, and get the rewards for your personal score.
Reporting the teams to EA is a given, but it seems they are unable to act - your experience being a good example of a club that has been reported but nothing has been done. EA will tell you that it takes time and each report needs to be investigated etc etc but the reality is they should be able to see the war logs and it you don't have to be a brain surgeon to count all the magnet attacks... They know the algorithm for war items restricts the number of hydrants, so they know that endless magnet attacks is impossible with out some sort of hack.
Thanks for your kind words. The cheats are ruining the game. As a club we have all agreed not to spend a single cent until war cheats have been eliminated. After investing hundreds of my REAL DOLLARS on war card packs to help my team (and I’m not the only member of my club to do so) I’m left feeling ripped off by EA. EA continues to offer War packs for sale knowing they do not have a handle on this problem, and that is not right, EA is simply wrong to do what they are doing. Stop offering war packs until you fix this problem! They know the name of at least one cheating club so they must be aware of how they are doing their cheating. YET THE PROBLEM REMAINS UNFIXED! AND EA CONTINUES TO SELL WAR PACKS! I’ve played this game for more than three and one half years. I was excited about clubs, and challenges and wars. It seemed to me that EA was creating a good experience. I decided it was time to invest some more cash in the game. And then I find myself dealing with cheaters. It seems that the higher up the war ladder we climb the more cheaters we must deal with. This completely negates the value of those war packs. In the end it just elevated us to a level where we get cheating opponents and no opportunity to win. We wanted to stay in the top 100 but now I wonder if it’s just a list of the top 100 cheating teams. No one from Ea has bothered to respond to these posts. That bothers me too. Does everyone realize that EA makes more money off this game than the biggest Hollywood studios make off years worth of movies. EA makes billions of dollars from us. Not millions folks, it’s BILLIONS! I could have seen dozens of movies for the cash I have spent here. Have some respect for your paying players EA or you will lose us. This message is from the heart. You are losing our respect EA. SHOW SOME LOVE AND FIX THIS.
Thank you for your kind words. I’m feeling a lot like a fool right now. Having spent more than 200 hard earned real dollars on war card packs to help my team, I now feel like I harmed them instead. My investment only raised up our team enough to match us up with cheating teams that we cannot hope to beat. In our last war the opposition eventually used more than 500 hydrants to beat us. Every player used almost exclusively magnetism attacks. Their inventory would have been impossible to obtain without cheating, EA has the name of this team as well as others using the same hack to win. WHY DOES EA CONTINUE TO SELL WAR PACKS WHEN THEY CLEARLY KNOW THEY HAVE NOT CREATED A FAIR PLAYING ARENA. I have played this game for more than three and a half years. I’ve worked my way to level 83 without cheating and while spending a fair amount of real cash. Once clubs, challenges, and wars were introduced I spent even more cash to help my fellow club members. I even posted a suggestion here in the forums that EA let us buy war packs as gifts for our team mates during the holidays. Now I’m just feeling like a complete fool. Does everyone here realize that EA makes billions of dollars every year on their games? They know exactly how the hacks are done. They have every resource needed to fix this. And yet here we are. EA... I beg you...please stop selling war packs until you have leveled the playing field. Knowing the hackers have taken control of your game and still asking for investors is unethical to say the least.
It is a disgrace that EA let this continue.
Right now, in our latest war, after about 12 hours of attack phase, the scores are currently 104285 (my club) to 119400 (the CHEATING club), so you can see, it's still very close, but, and here's the problem, they have hit us with.... wait for it... 240 magnet attacks. 240! And there is still 23 odd hours to go! So thats 480 hydrants so far, just for the magnet attacks. The few other attack cards they have used also, in most case, need hydrants. IT'S UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!
EA HOW CAN YOU LET THIS CONTINUE?
We will report this club, like we did the others, but I have zero faith anything will happen.

Hey Doof,
Please don’t shout in the forum, you woke me up from a midwinters dream 🙂. Please take a look at Mai’s post below, let’s give it a chance. Cheating is absolutely blantant and unacceptable and it’s been acknowledged, but due process takes time. If you choose not to participate in war games, it’s understandable - but I honestly believe that it will be addressed sooner than later...economics dictates it. Back to my nap - Take care.
